Last week Radian6, considered by most to be the gold standard in social media measurement, was acquired by Salesforce.com for 330 million dollars.

One of the core components of the Analyst Program is working with clients over time to help increase both the actual and perceived value of web analysis in the organization. From our very first report, we get great feedback from our direct stakeholder (i.e. virtual boss) on how much easier it is to understand the […]

We spend most of our time at Napkyn global headquarters helping people make sense of the web component of their business. It’s powerful, it’s fun (at least we think so), and it has a huge impact.

I took Netflix up on their 30-day trial offer as soon as it launched in Canada. With a PS3 and enough monthly transfer allowance from my ISP, I’m the ideal tester for this great new app that will – before you can say ‘Rogers sucks’ – change how people watch television Overall, Netflix is a […]
